Confidentiality is a crucial component of any coaching relationship, and now more than ever, so is the use of technology.

By: Dr. Patrick Williams and Deborah C. Davis

This book has been a standard for therapists who wish to transition or expand their practices into life coaching. Pat Williams have finally revised their classic practice-building book for today's therapists and future coaches. The book begins by exploring the history of the coaching movement and then explains in detail the differences and similarities between coaching and therapy, discusses the coaching relationship, and considers some of the skills therapists will need to learn and unlearn in order to reclaim their joyfulness about their work. Professional transition tools such as developing and marketing your practice and honing your coaching skills are discussed at length in Part Three. The final section moves beyond basic life coaching to introduce coaching specialties such as corporate coaching, offers self-care strategies for life coaches, and peeks into the future of life coaching. There is new material throughout, including an overview of recent coaching developments, updated liability concerns, new business opportunities, and a new section on the research about coaching.
